Severe Hypoglycemia in Children With IDDM: A prospective population study, 1992–1994

Abstract

Multiple-dose insulin therapy with rather low yearly mean HbAlc values causes a slight increase of NU hypoglycemia but no increase of U hypoglycemia in our population of children with IDDM. Near physiological HbAlc levels may be achieved without any pronounced risk of increasing the incidence of severe hypoglycemia when multiple-injection insulin therapy is combined with adequate self-control based on psychosocial support and active education.
